Connecting a Room in HipChat to a Flow in Flowdock

Motivation

Workspace chat tools offer a chance for companies to keep all communication in one place, making it possible for colleagues to collaborate in real-time and—ultimately—eradicate the use of internal email.

Once a team is accustomed to real-time communication, it’s painful to go back. Yet, going back is exactly what happens when multiple teams—each using its own chat platform—have to collaborate on a project. This is a common scenario both for large firms and groups working across companies.

Sameroom is one way to help bid adieu to external email and enable teams to move forward together just as fast as they do in isolation.

In this post, we'll show you how to connect a room in HipChat to a flow in Flowdock. Once connected, you can send messages and files between the two platforms, with each team keeping a complete copy of all communication.

Option 1: You're In Both Teams

If you find yourself switching between HipChat and Flowdock, this option is for you. Before proceeding, make sure you've got your HipChat room and Flowdock flow ready—create new ones, if necessary.
